Chapter 366 Yuanchun's Thoughts
"Old lady, what should we do with the Bai family members?" Wang Xifeng asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Jia's mother couldn't help but sigh, "Since Cong-ge'er hasn't said anything more, let's spare their lives. However, they are no longer suitable to be around the master."
"Bai Fang and his family will be sent directly to the farm outside the city. As for Jin Chuan'er and Yin Chuan'er, they will be placed in the mansion as maids for the time being."
It is not easy to deal with servants who have made mistakes, unless they are killed directly like Jia Cong did to the servants in Wang Zhu's family. Otherwise, if they are left with resentment, wouldn't it be a hidden danger?
However, the old lady did not want to be known as a murderer, and Jia Cong did not take any action, so she left the family behind.
Of course, it was not possible to send them all away. If such a thing got out, it would be bad for the mansion, so they had to be kept. But it was not appropriate to keep them all in the mansion either. Therefore, the two old ones were sent to the farm, and the two maids were kept in the mansion. They would have a check and concern for each other, so even if something really happened, they could easily handle it and would not be helpless.
Wang Xifeng nodded immediately, "Then I'll do it later!"
"Well, explain the matter clearly to the two girls. Don't blame me for being cruel. Some things have to be borne after they are done. Now that we can keep them here, it is already a favor from the mansion."
"Don't worry, old lady!"
Wang Xifeng naturally understood what the old lady meant. If you want to hate someone, just hate the second wife. It has nothing to do with others. As for the life or death of the second wife, it is obvious that the old lady no longer cares. The reason why she did not die suddenly was just to leave a decent life for Yuanchun, Baoyu and Jia Zheng.
After all, Baoyu is the old lady's beloved, and Yuanchun is still in the palace. If Wang died, wouldn't they be embarrassed?
"Second brother, send a message to the Wang family and ask Wang Ziteng to come. After all, he is a member of the Wang family, so when something like this happens, they should be informed."
Jia Zheng nodded gloomily. He was filled with hatred and annoyance. He really didn't know why such a person and such a thing happened in his family.
…
The next day, Wang Ziteng, who received the letter from Jia Zheng, went to visit. After hearing the whole story, he had only one thought: Is this really his sister? This is simply a trap for him! Who is Jia Cong now? He is a first-class national marquis, a core figure of the Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises. Even Wang Ziteng has to be respectful when he sees him!
For a person like this, it would be fine if you didn't try to win him over, but you went straight to offend him? He really wanted to strangle his own girl to death. He wouldn't be so deceiving...
Fortunately, the Jia family did not take the matter to the extreme. Although they imprisoned Wang in the family temple, at least they did not kill Mrs. Wang. Otherwise, Wang Ziteng would really be in trouble! Continue to befriend the Jia family? What will others think of him? Do you even give up family affection for your career? Although this is the reality, you can't be labeled like this. But break off relations with the Jia family? He doesn't have the confidence to do so now.
Without the support of the Jia family and other dukes and marquises, how could he hold on to his position as the Minister of War? Did he really think that there was no one left in the court?
Since everything was not at its worst, Wang Ziteng naturally did not say much. He was even very grateful to Lady Jia and Jia Cong for saving the Wang family's face. After all, it was not a good reputation for the Wang family to have such an evil woman.
In Fengzao Palace, Jia Cong chatted with the Queen for a while, and then asked the Queen to let him talk to Yuanchun.
What happened in Qingxu Temple could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the royal family, so the queen knew what Jia Cong wanted to say to Yuanchun, so she readily agreed! Moreover, she also believed that Yuanchun knew her limits and would not blame her son for such a thing.
Besides, even if she was blamed, what would it matter? She was just a female official. If it weren't for her son's face, life and death would be just a matter of a word.
"How are you these days, elder sister?" In the side hall, the other maids and eunuchs were sent away, and the brother and sister sat opposite each other.
Ever since she learned of Jia Cong's true identity, Yuanchun has always felt a little uncomfortable facing him again. She feels awe and a little shy...
"Don't worry, my brother. The Queen will take care of you in the palace. Everything will be fine!"
Jia Cong nodded slightly, and then he calmly recounted everything that had happened in Qingxu Temple. When Yuanchun heard it, she was naturally shocked and sad.
It's not that she hasn't written to her mother these days, but she didn't expect that her mother would be so obsessed with her third brother and do such a wrong thing. How could she not know the importance of Baochai and Daiyu in her third brother's heart? Moreover, they were the daughters-in-law recognized by the emperor and the empress. Even if the third brother didn't take any action, how could the empress stand by and watch?
After a long while, Yuanchun finally shed tears and said, "Third brother, mother made such a big mistake, and the current ending is her own fault! However, she is my mother after all. I only ask one thing from you, that is, let her live..."
Jia Cong picked up the handkerchief beside him and gently wiped away Yuanchun's tears. "Don't worry, big sister. Since the old ancestor has made this decision, as long as the second wife doesn't do anything else, neither I nor the old ancestor will target her. After all, she is not only the wife of the second uncle, but also the mother of big sister and second brother Bao."
"If this incident involves other things, I may not do anything to the Second Wife, but..."
"Third brother, you don't need to say more. How can I not understand? With your methods, if you target mother, she probably won't even have the chance to make a mistake. I know your helplessness and tolerance, so I won't blame you."
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong wiped Yuanchun's tears again and then nodded.
"I will write a few letters later, please take them to the ancestors and my third sister." Feeling Jia Cong's palm brushing her cheek, Yuanchun dodged a little unnaturally. Before this, the two were siblings, so such closeness was natural. But now... she always felt that her heart was beating very fast.
After calming down, Yuanchun continued, "Third brother also knows that Third Sister is a smart person, but when she encounters such a thing, it must be difficult for her to bear it for a while. Therefore, Third Brother needs your care and support."
"Don't worry, big sister. No matter what happens to my brothers and sisters at home, I will not let outsiders bully them." Jia Cong said with a smile, "Before, I joked with you sisters that if you can't find a good family, you will stay at home for the rest of your life, and I will support you."
When Yuanchun heard this, her eyes couldn't help but waver a little...
